STILL HERE

I saw you standing by my grave ...but I'm still here
I saw you turn and say goodbye,you waved ...but I'm still here
I heard you call my name as you slept last night, I felt your pain and fear and fright ...but I'm still here

I heard you wonder how you'd cope alone ...but I'm still here
I heard you sob, I heard you moan ...but I'm still here
I saw you as you held your head in your hands, with the world still full of your time's demands ...but I'm still here

I held you in my arms today ...I'm still here
I felt your response because you knew there was a way ...I'm still here
I know you felt my hand as it brushed against your cheek, I haven't left your side, I've been here all week ...I'm still here

I have a new home where I now reside ...but I'm still here
love is still the same from the "other side" ...and I'm still here
from time to time I'll pop in and say hello, I'm really sorry that I had to go ...but I'm still here

Its my greatest wish that you live each day ...knowing I'm still here
life must carry on and I know you'll find a way ...knowing I'm still here
I promise one day, there'll be an ease to the pain, and I want you to begin to live your life again ...knowing I'm still here

You still have so much more of your life to live ...but I'm still here
your beautiful soul has such alot to give ...and I'm still here
lots more dancing, singing and fun, parties to attend and things to be done ...and remember... I'm still here.
